== Overview ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GIF is a legacy format; we recommend against generating new images in
|
|
|
|
|
it. For a cleaner, more extensible design with better color support
|
|
|
|
|
and compression, look up PNG.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
giflib provides code for reading GIF files and transforming them into
|
|
|
|
|
RGB bitmaps, and for writing RGB bitmaps as GIF files.
